I mistakenly read the description of the mcp-token field to mean I needed a "PAT for MCP" as if there were a PAT permission for MCP. This change clarifies the language.

Pull request overview
This PR clarifies the documentation for the github-mcp-token parameter to avoid confusion about PAT (Personal Access Token) requirements. The wording change makes it clearer that a PAT is required for MCP functionality, rather than implying there's a specific "PAT for MCP" permission type.
